WhatsApp is the world's most used instant messaging app. It has more than 295 crore daily active users all over the world. WhatsApp is considered the most secure messaging app. The main reason for this is its end-to-end encryption. This privacy feature protects users' private chats from being leaked. The company claims that only the sender and receiver have access to chats done on WhatsApp. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has issued a statement regarding the privacy of WhatsApp, which has created tension for millions of users around the world.
Mark Zuckerberg surprised
Mark Zuckerberg said in a statement on Saturday, January 11, 2025, that American authorities, like the CIA or the Central Intelligence Agency, can read WhatsApp message chats if they physically access the user's device. He has made it clear in his statement that WhatsApp's end-to-end encryption takes full care of the privacy of the users. However, if an agency has access to the user's device, then the chats made through it can be accessed.
While answering a question asked in a podcast with a private channel The Joe Rogan Experience, Mark Zuckerberg said that the encryption feature of WhatsApp is for Meta's servers. In this, the communication done through the server such as messages, files etc. is kept safe and not the user's device. If the user's device comes into the hands of any government agency, then they can access the chats done through this device.
This question was asked to Mark Zuckerberg due to a controversy that surfaced recently, in which journalist Tucker Carlson accused the American intelligence agencies NSA and CIA of accessing private messages of an attempted interview between him and Russian President Putin. to be done. Carlson has claimed that these agencies sabotaged his plan.
Privacy will be maintained
Meta CEO also said that if any spyware like Pigasus software etc. is installed in the device then the agency will have access to the device. In this situation, agencies can access WhatsApp chat. However, considering these risks, many privacy features have been added to WhatsApp recently, which include disappearing messages etc. This feature deletes chats from the device at a specified time. In such a situation, the privacy of chats is maintained.
